Preventive Care

Dental Care
Most of our canine and feline patients over the age of one year have some build up of dental calculus and tartar. During the annual comprehensive physical examination, our doctors will evaluate the teeth and determine if and when a dental cleaning is necessary.
Vaccination
The doctors and staff of Westwood Animal Hospital are concerned about the health and well being of our patients and their families. Puppies and kittens should be examined soon after birth and dewormed every 2 weeks until 6-8 weeks of age. At this age, vaccinations and a monthly parasite prevention program are started. After the final puppy/kitten boosters are administered, the semi-annual regular wellness visits are initiated.
Nutritional Counseling
Feline Panleukopenia/Feline Parvovirus is a contagious disease which is why vaccination is recommended. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and sometimes death. Vaccinations should start at around 6-8 weeks of age and there are a series of vaccinations that are given every 3-4 weeks until your kitten is 16-18 weeks old. Adult cats typically receive a vaccination every year.
Comprehensive Examination
Comprehensive Physical Exam- Your petâ€™s exam will be very similar to a physical exam that you would have, including evaluation of: ears, eyes, mouth and teeth, internal organs, skin and coat, etc.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Fleas and ticks can cause discomfort, itchiness, and allergic skin disease. The chance that your pet may get fleas or ticks depends on where you live and the environment around you. Fleas thrive in warmer weather, but may go dormant during the winter in colder areas. Ticks tend to live in wooded areas or areas with high grass.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
Canine Distemper is a viral disease that is transmitted by aerosol droplets and from all body excretions of infected animals. Clinical signs include coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. Puppies are the most susceptible to the disease and also have the highest mortality rate from severe cases or complications from the disease. Vaccination is recommended in all puppies and is typically started at 6-8 weeks of age with boosters administered every 3-4 weeks until 16-18 weeks of age. Yearly vaccination is usually recommended in adult dogs.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease caused by Leptospira, which is a type of bacteria called a spirochete. This disease can affect the liver and/or kidneys of dogs resulting in liver failure, kidney failure or both. The most common method of exposure is through contact with infected urine. A canine Leptospirosis vaccine is available for at-risk dogs but this vaccine is not routinely administered to all dogs.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
This disease is caused by Canine Parvovirus. It is highly contagious and transmitted by direct or indirect contact with contaminated feces. Typical clinical signs include vomiting and diarrhea. Vaccination is highly recommended and is given in a series starting when the puppy is 6-8 weeks old. Because canine parvovirus is endemic in our area, yearly vaccination of adult dogs is recommended.
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Commonly referred to as â€œkennel coughâ€ , this is actually a complex of diseases with multiple possible causes. Infectious tracheobronchitis can be caused by viral infections (canine parainfluenza) as well as bacterial infections (Bordetella). Vaccination for this disease is recommended for puppies and every 6-12 months in adult dogs.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Feline Calicivirus affects the upper respiratory tract and sometimes causes lameness and joint pain. Symptoms include fever, gum disease, mouth ulcers, conjunctivitis and sneezing. Cats do not need to exhibit symptoms in order to transmit the disease to other cats. The contagious nature of this disease makes it important for your pet to receive a series of vaccinations as a kitten and yearly as an adult cat.
Heart Disease Treatment
Our hospital currently uses a Burdick EK-10 ECG machine to evaluate the hearts of our canine and feline patients. An ECG is a machine that we use to help with evaluation of the heart in both normal health and disease. Our EKG service includes interpretation by a Board Certified Cardiologist when necessary.
Kidney Disease Treatment
There are many different types of food available for your pet, and each has its own benefits. You should ask us which particular food is best for your pet. The food your pet eats depends on their age, size, breed as well as other factors. If your pet has a health condition such as kidney disease, heart disease, sensitive stomach, or obesity there are prescription diets available to help them combat their ailment. Ask about specific feeding recommendations for your pet.

Wound and Fracture Care
Feline Leukemia Virus is commonly spread via the oronasal route and by bite wounds from infected cats. The Feline Leukemia vaccine is highly recommended for outdoor cats and cats that are frequently in contact with other cats. At risk kittens typically receive the first vaccine at 9 weeks of age and receive a booster 3 weeks later. Yearly vaccination is recommended for at risk cats. We currently use Purevax, a non-adjuvanted Feline Leukemia vaccine.

Veterinary Surgery
Our mission is to provide high quality medical and surgical care to our patients while striving to exceed our clientâ€™s expectations by treating all pets as if they were our own.
Spaying and Neutering
We routinely provide a wide array of surgical procedures in our office. Some of these procedures include: ovariohysterectomy (spay), castration (neuter), mass removal, bladder stone removal, Cesarean section, intestinal and stomach surgery, abdominal exploratory and â€œcherry eyeâ€ repair. Our office is equipped with modern surgical and anesthetic equipment so that we can provide excellent care for your pet. We utilize pulse oximeter monitors in all animals that receive anesthesia. These monitors allow us to constantly monitor heart rate and blood oxygen levels in our patients. Patients requiring general anesthesia will have preanesthetic lab work done in order to help us detect any metabolic problems prior to the administration of anesthesia.

Laboratory Services
Lab work- Recommended every 6-12 months for early detection of metabolic problems. In patients that are 5-7 years old, we will typically run a Wellness Profile in our in-house laboratory with results typically reported the same day. In our patients that are 8+ years old we will usually recommend a Senior Comprehensive Profile.
